History Of Motor Racing Pt 3

I have this on dvd, the shell history of motor racing! Great stuff

This is fantastic. I'm wondering why there is no mention of Victor Hemery, my great-gandfather. Look him up on wikipedia. He won many championships during this period, and set land-speed records in 1905 and 1909.

"Only" 23 miles. The old Nurburgring was only 17.563 miles long and that was the longest F1 circuit of all time. The current Le Mans 24 Hour circuit is just under 8.482 miles. It is almost impossible to imagine a racetrack that's only three miles under both of these colossal circuits combined. Also consider the reliability. The drop-out rate in the London to Brighton Rally is high and those cars are on good roads and aren't being pushed to the absolute limit. Yet these cars and drivers finished.

Excellent film, thanks. Modern F1 seems to have lost some of that excitement.
